The Oslo District Court has made a decision for Marius Borg: he will remain in custody for a week. He was arrested for the third time on Monday night and will remain in custody until November 27, seven days during which he is prohibited from receiving visits and letters. You will therefore not have contact with your family or other people around you.
The Police had requested that Mette-Marit’s son be in preventive detention for the next two weeks for two reasons: they consider that there is a risk of alteration in the evidence in the case and they claim to have found a video on Marius’s cell phone that would support the accusations. The Court has partially accepted this request, since it has reduced it by half.
Marius’ lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, spoke out as soon as the decision was announced: “The court should have been tougher, but it shows that the court is critical of what was presented. One week is much better than two. We consider it promising.” In addition, he has announced that tomorrow he will consider the option of appealing it.
The latest developments in the Marius case have coincided with Prince Haakon’s stay in Jamaica, where he has traveled to find sustainable solutions for the oceans, climate and poverty as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Program. Despite the distance, the heir to the Nordic throne has spoken publicly about the latest events.
“As a family and as parents, we have wanted Marius to receive help and we have been working for a long time to get him to a place where he can receive more help. It is something we give a lot of priority to. It must be done within the framework established by the legal system” , has indicated the future King of Norway.
